JOURNAL

4/8/2024

Guess I might as well do a journal, it sounds fun lol. I'll try to be regular with these entries, if i have anything interesting to talk about. I've been thinking about trying to read the Bible someday; i'm not religious, but the story hits hard sometimes. Also been playing Tekken 8 & trying to learn Yoshimitsu, he's hard but fun! I really gotta get more art out soon... ...And also do more stuff for this site lol.

4/9/2024

Got some more progress done on commissions, posted one of them in the art gallery. Today i've just been feeling down... I tried starting on the Bible. Forgot how weird it was written lol. I think soon i'll try experimenting with some backgrounds, see what else can work. May have to change the background of these boxes though; i love the gradient, but the white text might get hard to read...

4/10/2024

It's gonna be an early day for me. Got a little bit of work done on commissions, and got the code set up for changing backgrounds, I'm just feeling out of it. Not very proud of my recent art output either. There's always tomorrow, i guess... EDIT: Forgot to add this earlier. All of the support & help i've gotten for the website is so very much appreciated..

4/11/2024

Got a commission done, but i've mostly just been laying in bed sick. Not really much to note otherwise.

4/13/2024

Tomorrow i'm probably gonna be heading to the doctor; after i got sick, my left ear's been feeling clogged & muffled. Otherwise, i got some practice done with scanlines, i love those things lol. Also got back into N64 emulation, might have to put a few more games on the backlog now...

4/14/2024

Update about my left ear: It is thankfully not any kind of infection. It seems that my Eustachian tubes (the ones that connect the back of your throat to your inner ear) most likely got backed up from how SHIT my sinuses are! I'll have to start religiously investing in sinus relief meds & stuff like that to help with it, so my hearing should be back to normal in short order. ...also for some reason finding that out costed almost 1000 BUCKS. I completely understand universal healthcare now, the US healthcare system is SO shit...

4/15/2024

Inner peace... my ear is feeling relatively normal again. The sinus stuff has worked, and I will keep using it to make sure I don't go through this again. It's so nice listening to music again...

4/18/2024

Sorry for the lack of journal entries, just felt like I didn't have much of note to talk about. My sinuses have been feeling a lot better lately, and I can hear perfectly fine again. I've also been making some edits to the site, mostly trying to make it more mobile-friendly with size changing & all that. Always brainstorming ideas for it too... at some point I REALLY wanna figure out 3D modeling, I would be unstoppable if I had a model of my OCs. Only problem is that i have no experience with moodeling like that lol...

4/19/2024

...So I'm getting experience with 3D modeling.. turns out it's not that bad: it'll take me a bit to absorb everything fully, but it's fun too! I'm just following a tutorial for how to model a donut scene, but i think once I get this down, Tyro will be next >:)

4/22/2024

Made some more progress on Blender, I'm learning about this stupidly versatile tool called Geometry Nodes; it's letting me make sprinkles. I've also been getting getting through art... otherwise, haven't had much to say.

4/24/2024

Sorry for my sudden absence... I have way too much IRL baggage that can't fit on this site, and it hit pretty hard. For now, though, I'm back.. slowly realizing trying to worry about it & keep a grudge just isn't worth it, I have too much stuff to worry about instead. ...On a brighter note, I tried Fightcade yesterday. Decided to main Akuma/Gouki in SFIII: 3rd Strike, he's both pretty complex (emphasis on setplay & pressure), yet simple to me (i don't have to worry about EX moves, as Akuma/Gouki doesn't have any.) & I'm having fun learning the game. Unfortunately, haven't made much progress with Blender...

also found this fidget ring thanks to my brother & cousin... I really gotta buy this.
SMALL UPDATE: now i wanna try video editing lmao

4/25/2024

So I tried video editing... had some issues with it before 'cuz the software I used didn't work all that well, but now it's perfect. And thanks to getting OBS, now I can record whatever I wish. This'll be fun, i'm learning how to draw, 3D model, and edit vids all at the same time lmao. In other news, the FCC reinstated net neutrality. If you weren't aware, it means that Internet Service Providers will now have to treat every site equally no matter where they're from; without it, ISPs could block sites, or charge fees for using that site. This is very much a good a thing, I'm so glad the fight for a really free internet is still going strong.

4/26/2024

Twitter has decided: my next video/playthrough will be of my favorite game, Sonic Riders. Had to hunt down some effects for it, for some reason my OBS was making the intro of the game sound bad... hopefully the recording goes well, this is gonna be an experience for sure lol
